I stared out the window and watched all the villagers walk around and do jobs, I felt so useless back in this place, here I was in this bed while they worked, it was the same as London, I started humming the tune that has been running through my head for a while when Aaya came in "How do you know that song?" she asked, I shrugged "I don't know, it just pops up sometimes" I said, she nodded and sat down at the foot of my bed "It goes like this" she started….
Imba wimbo
Wa upepo
Wakati unajiwa na
Imba wimbo wa upepo
Wakati ndoto tamu
Lala mpaka usiku uisheni
Upepo wa usiku
Wimbo wanko na
Wimbo wangu inaendelea milele"
She finished the song and I was a little tired "It's beautiful" I said, she nodded "My mother used to sing it for me when I was younger" she said, I was confused "Then how do I know it?" I asked, she shrugged "I'm not sure" she said, I felt very tired and before I knew it I fell back asleep
Dream
Fire, that's all I could see, a lot of it, it was burning something that looked like a small city, I could see glowing orbs flying out of it and I realized, these were the tree spirits, someone was burning it, I could feel the flames licking my skin and it hurt, a lot, I could see a lot of the spirits burning with the once beautiful city, the image zoomed out and I could see the pirates, my brother was there with them just watching, he wasn't helping or anything "Jimmy!" I shouted…..
End Dream (No one's POV)
3 Indian women ran into the hut where screams could be heard, Curly had heard them from his little camp with the boys and they followed him to the hut, but they weren't allowed inside, a lot of the Indians were grabbing their weapons "What's going on?" Curly asked the guider, he looked nervous and enraged "Someone is burning the city of the Tree Spirits" he said before running with them, the boys ran to the window of Baby's hut, the women were dabbing her with wet rags and she was screaming, she thrashed around in her bed and one of them tried to hold her down "No!" she screamed, her body arched of the bed and her fingers gripped the blanket for dear life
"Come on Baby wake up" Tootles said with his hands in a praying sign, the girl as if hearing him called down in a flash, her grip on the blanket eased and her body lowered, she was just mumbling now, Curly opened the door to the hut and the women let him in, Aaya was with them "She saw something, I think it was the destroying of the city, she is very warm and needs rest, but one of you can see her" she said, Curly nodded and decided he should do it, he sat next to her and her eyes opened, she had tears running down her cheeks "It was horrible"
she said, her voice was whispered from the screaming "What happened?" he asked taking one of her hands in both of his, they weren't wrong, she was very warm "The city, I saw the pirates burn it, it was so horrible, I could feel the fire all over me" she whimpered, Curly rubbed her hand softly "Shh, it's over now, just get some sleep okay?" he said, she nodded "Stay here with me" she said, he nodded and waited until she fell asleep before leaving her hut.
